We can all make a change. Together, we’re a union that can work to make things better, on campus and beyond. UCL is yours, so it should be what you want it to be. We’re led by students. That means you’re in charge.

We’re here to make you feel at home. All of our spaces are your spaces. We’re transforming our bars, cafes, fitness and study areas to create the places to make friends and relax. And as a not-for-profit charity, we put anything we earn into making the union better for you.

Driven by drama, sport, art or politics? Students’ Union UCL offers all sorts of ways to discover something that will become a part of who you are. Get up on stage. Be creative. Lead a movement. Push yourself further than you imagined.

University is a big, exciting place. But life isn’t always easy. We’re here to give you support when you need us, care about the things you care about, and fight for you when need someone in your corner. Our job is to make sure you feel supported every day.

Leadership Roles

Full-time leadership roles (Sabbatical Officers): They’re a group of seven full-time paid students who each have differing areas of responsibility. They represent all students at UCL and have specific remits which cover: clubs and societies, women, postgraduates, black and ethnic minority students, international students, democracy, your welfare and your education. These officers are elected for a year and either take a year out of their studies to do the job or do it just after they graduate.

If you have any questions about applying for a full-time role as a Sabbatical Officer (questions about visa’s etc.) then we’ve got a handy FAQ section you might want to check out, or get in touch with us at su.elections@ucl.ac.uk.

Part-Time leadership roles: These officers volunteer their time and lead change alongside their studies. There’s a wealth of part-time roles available, with officers representing a diverse range of interests and identities within the University, campaigning for the things that really matter to you. ​
